The Star Ruby Grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi 'Star Ruby') is a highly prized grapefruit variety known for its deep red flesh, sweet-tart flavor, and high juice content. It is considered one of the best red grapefruit cultivars due to its excellent taste and ornamental value.
Appearance & Growth Habit:
- A medium-sized evergreen tree, typically growing 15 to 20 feet tall with a spreading, rounded canopy.
- Glossy, dark green leaves provide a lush, attractive look.
- Produces fragrant white flowers in spring, which attract bees and other pollinators.
Fruit Characteristics:
- Medium to large-sized fruit, round to slightly oblong.
- Smooth, thin yellow skin with a slight pink blush when mature.
- Deep ruby-red flesh, more intensely pigmented than other grapefruit varieties.
- Juicy and seedless or nearly seedless, with a sweet-tart flavor that is less bitter than other grapefruits.
- High in lycopene and Vitamin C, making it a healthy choice.
Growing Requirements:
- Sun: Requires full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for best growth and fruit production.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil; avoid heavy clay that retains excess moisture.
- Watering: Regular watering is needed, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering.
- Temperature: Best suited for warm climates (USDA zones 9-11); sensitive to frost, so protection is needed in colder areas.
- Fertilization: Benefits from a citrus-specific fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like magnesium and iron.
Uses & Benefits:
- Grown for fresh consumption, juicing, and salads due to its rich flavor and color.
- A great source of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber.
- Popular in home gardens and commercial orchards due to its high yield and attractive fruit.
- Can be grown in containers for smaller spaces or in colder climates where it can be moved indoors.
